Field Trip: Syrup

Like I said, I spend most of my time at work serving food rather than working in the dishroom. Hence, I will sometimes make little updates tagged "Field Trip", describing the other things I do (the idea is that I'm taking you on a field trip outside the dishroom, see?).

Today at breakfast, we served a breakfast version of the corndog—a sausage dipped in blueberry pancake batter on a stick. It sounds weird, and frankly, it is weird. (Though I give props to whoever was clever enough to come up with the idea.)

Each plate is served with a little syrup packet. The cheap kind that's basically straight-up high fructose corn syrup with maybe a bit of flavoring thrown in.

You're not fooling anyone, Heinz.

It amuses me greatly that it doesn't even claim to be maple syrup anymore, despite that maple leaf. Instead, it's..."breakfast syrup".

Oooh, what a world we live in.
